I found a miscellaneous package of brownie mix in my cabinet, and had all the other ingredients from a recent s’more making adventure. What’s a girl to do?

Please excuse the burnt bits in the background. I almost burned down my apartment with this. Maybe a sign? Whatever.

To get the marshmallows brown and delicious looking, you have to stick the pan under the broiler in the oven for about 2 minutes. Problem was, I didn’t think to move the rack further away from the broiler. As I was watching through the door, smoke started coming up. By the time I got the oven open – FIRE! Luckily I kept my cool and practiced my birthday-candle-blowing skills. Then I proceeded to pull burnt marshmallow bits off the brownies and moved the pan and re-broiled. No fire this time!

So please be careful and move the oven rack away from the broiler, or just place in the heated oven for a few minutes until brown.
